The electric fuel pump delivers more fuel<br />

than the maximum requirement of the<br />

engine so that compression in the fuel<br />

system can be maintained under all operating<br />

conditions. A check valve in the<br />

pump decouples the fuel system from<br />

the fuel tank by preventing reverse flow of<br />

fuel to the fuel tank.<br />

The electric fuel pump starts to operate<br />

immediately when the ignition and starting<br />

switches are operated and remains<br />

switched on continuously after the engine<br />

has started. A safety circuit is incorporated<br />

to stop the pump running and, thus,<br />

to prevent fuel being delivered if the ignition<br />

is switched on but the engine has<br />

stopped turning (for instance in the case<br />

of an accident).<br />

The fuel pump is located in the immediate<br />

vicinity of the fuel tank and requires<br />

no maintenance.<br />

<strong>Fuel</strong> accumulator<br />

The fuel accumulator maintains the<br />

pressure in the fuel system for a certain<br />

time after the engine has been switched<br />

off in order to facilitate restarting, particularly<br />

when the engine is hot. The special<br />

design of the accumulator housing<br />

(Figure 5) deadens the sound of the fuel<br />

pump when the engine is running.<br />

The interior of the fuel accumulator is<br />

divided into two chambers by means of a<br />

diaphragm. One chamber serves as the<br />

accumulator for the fuel whilst the other<br />

represents the compensation volume<br />

and is connected to the atmosphere or to<br />

the fuel tank by means of a vent fitting.<br />

During operation, the accumulator<br />

chamber is filled with fuel and the diaphragm<br />

is caused to bend back against<br />

the force of the spring until it is halted by<br />

the stops in the spring chamber. The<br />

diaphragm remains in this position, which<br />

corresponds to the maximum accumulator<br />

volume, as long as the engine is<br />

running.<br />
